Aroon Trend Catcher

Trend catcher: buys when Aroon Up overtakes Down, sells on the opposite cross.

Indicators:Aroon

Entry Logic

Buy when Aroon Up(14) crosses above Aroon Down(14) — recent highs are more recent than lows.

Exit Logic

Sell when Aroon Up crosses below Down.

How Rules Combine

Aroon Up = 100×(N - days since highest high)/N, Down similarly for lowest low. Crossing shows which extreme is more recent.

When It Works (Market Edge)

New trends where price is making fresh highs consistently and not making new lows.

When It Fails

Consolidations: both lines hover near 50 and cross without trend, generating whipsaws.

Common Myths

Myth: Aroon predicts how long a trend will last.

Truth: It only shows recency of highs/lows, not future duration. A new low can appear at any time.
